Hostels in Kobe

A nice, affordable hostel in a good location.

It's got really good energy and you can tell it's a family business run with love. The bed and the private bath were clean, spacious, comfy. The shared kitchen amenities and free coffee/tea were great and lots of stuff to cook and eat with. So many shared spaced intricately decorated and lots of curious objects and books to inspect. It was a great atmosphere, the location is triangulated by three nearby metro stations, and lots of shops, combini, and restaurants nearby. Overall the place was quiet and tidy despite it being a hostel and I didn't even have to see the host at check-in or check-out as we did everything over the phone from a landline I found when I got there, which made everything feel very smooth and easy. Would definitely stay again.

I really love this coffee hostel and this is my second time staying here. I was very surprised to see such an exaggerated 1-point rating. Firstly, Japan’s safety is widely recognized by travelers worldwide, and this guest’s personal feelings cannot change the fact that Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. Secondly, in a shared dormitory like a youth hostel, it’s reasonable for the host to ask guests not to lock the door from the inside, as this would prevent other roommates from entering. I feel this guest’s statement could lead to serious misunderstandings. Thirdly, as a shared dormitory, privacy is naturally affected, but that’s the nature of a youth hostel. It seems this guest doesn’t understand the concept of a youth hostel, and I suggest they choose such accommodations more carefully in the future. Additionally, the guest mentioned there was no space to organize luggage, which is completely contrary to my experience. Every dormitory room has reasonable space for luggage storage. Lastly, the guest hinted at the host’s nationality, suggesting that people from a certain country should avoid staying here. While this is their freedom of expression, I personally find it inappropriate. The café on the first floor is a great space for interaction, where you can meet young people from all over the world and have meaningful exchanges, which is one of the joys of traveling. The host is a friendly writer, knowledgeable, fluent in English, and very willing to engage with guests. Therefore, I believe this is a hostel worth staying at for a few days. In the future, whenever I return to this area, I will choose to stay here again.

Really nice vibe and lovely personale. Nice and quiet area with many bakeries and fun shops and still close to the center.

The bar/cafe area downstairs was very nice and very welcoming. As was the owner who was really kind and would always say goodbye or hello with a big smile on his face every time i would enter / leave. The room was nice and clean and the beds were good with a nice warm duvet and a big thick blanket in case you got cold. The guesthouse was located just outside the main area of kobe and located between two stations for easy access to other parts of the city.

The owner was extremely nice, I had a very nice stay in Kobe 😁

Location close to several metro lines. The property is very clean. The owner is a super helpful Chinese lady. She learns Japanese and always tries to help. She also offers coffee and real Chinese tea in the morning. I work remotely while traveling, and this place is perfect for online workers. It is quiet most of the time, it has proper working space, hot water to make yourself a tea, or a microwave for your lunch while working.

I recently had an amazing experience at a hostel I stayed at and I wanted to share my thoughts. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The dorm room I stayed in was clean and comfortable. I also appreciated the thoughtful touches like individual power outlets for each bed. One of the highlights of my stay was the hostel's social activities. They organized a cafe at night which was a great way to meet other travellers. I also enjoyed hanging out in the common room and chatting with other guests over a cup of tea. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at this hostel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and sociable place to stay. The staff were top-notch and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time. I can't wait to come back!

Great cost benefit, right next to station and close to Universal!

Clean, comfortable, location is quiet, not far from station
